Following the rest of the group into the lab, doing her best to stay in the back, she had hoped that the lab of another region would be exciting to see. After all, the Professor of Galar had been lovely to see doing her job back at home, fitting well into her new role as Professor, so she was looking forward to seeing the Professor of Kanto.

What she hadn't expected was that despite staying in the back, she still got yelled at for no reason by an old man.

With the man being right up in her face, Lizbeth got so startled, she couldn't make a coherent sentence, merely screaming in fear before making noises, then she went and hid behind the only person she knew there who was taller than her, Ezra. She clung tightly to his back as she hyperventilated due to the extreme interaction she just had, and tears forming in her eyes, a few rolling down her cheeks here and there. Ace was just about ready to clobber the old man, but he was more concerned with Lizbeth, and opted to stay on her shoulder, patting her cheek.

It took her a few moments to calm down enough to hear what the other man who'd been in the lab was saying, but she didn't catch more than just the tail end of his little speech. Specifically, just his question if they had any for him.

She wiped the tears off her face with her arm and peaked from behind Ezra's back as she spoke. [color=mediumvioletred]"I...I have one...who in the blazing hell was that?"[/color] Lizbeth talked with a squeakier voice than she intended, but she had just been scared half to death by a man she had no idea who he was, and she didn't think he would be the Professor they were supposed to see. Maybe he was some homeless man who had barged in and stolen a lab coat?

Lizbeth was also too scared to actually feel nervous enough to stutter, so that was probably the one good thing the old man yelling at her had done. After seeing that the old man wasn't there, she braved forward to speak to the man again, hopefully not getting yelled at again. [color=mediumvioletred]"I'm sorry, I actually didn't catch any of what you just said. That old man scared me too much for me to hear what you told us..."[/color] She hung her head low, Ace instead looking up at the man, obviously not happy about how Lizbeth had just been treated.
